Mission

IMPACT 100 Pensacola Bay Area, Inc. is an organization of women committed to improving their community by providing substantial grants to non-profit organizations in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. IMPACT has no paid employees or staff, so one hundred percent of each member’s annual contribution of $1,000 is pooled and awarded to non-profit organizations in increments of at least $100,000 grants.

IMPACT's mission is:

to know and serve the community;
to collectively fund significant grants to charitable initiatives; and
to set an example of effective philanthropy.

Members are encouraged to learn about community needs and the non-profit organizations that serve that need through the grant review process, contribute $1,000 annually to become a member for a year and cast their vote at the Annual Awards Meeting for each grant awarded.
